Engine & coolingBody, doors & structureAcceleration & cruise control

Accelerated from stop and throttle stuck. Was able to shut down engine and get to side of road. Inspected cable and found that rubber boot on engine side of cable housing had become gummy/sticky/soft and had folded in on itself, sticking to the inner cable itself. Removed boot to get home. Looked online for replacement, and found that there had been a recall for exact same problem on exact same model and year, but after calling isuzu, was told that my vin was not part of the recall, though it's the same part...

number. Obviously the recall was incomplete, and there are still cars out there which, like mine, have the same faulty speed control components. Had I not known to take the car out of gear and shut down the engine, there could have easily been a crash. My wife drives my 2 year old son in this car. I ask you to please look into this issue on behalf of public safety. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1995 isuzu trooper. The contact noticed that the front exhaust pipe had excessive corrosion and failed. He speculated that the component failed prematurely because he resides in a salt belt state. The dealer stated that the repair would cost $1,000. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 90,000.

The engine will stall and not idle if the vehicle is operated for about 20 miles after a seemingly unrelated failure in the speedometer sensor. This can be a saftey hazard as it happened when I was exiting a freeway offramp and suddenly had no power steering or brakes.

Im upset with vehicle and was forced to pay 400 dollars for an alternator caused by oil leak problem which was never fixed correctly in the first place. In december, 1998 while under warranty I had toth buick replace the head gaskets. Within a few months it was leaking oil again so I took it back in for my usual oil change and told them. The mechanic told me that it probably wasn't leaking oil, it just uses about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. He said he would do a consumption test and walked away. Well...

when the truck was ready to go, I asked if they did a consumption test and the lady at the service desk told me to bring it back when it runs out of oil. I thought what is she nuts, yeah I' ll be back when the engine blows up. Sure enough I was back in a month because the oil leak caused my alternator to short out. They agreed to fix the oil leak problem again since they never fixed it in the first place. This time I needed a valve gasket cover. However, they said I would have to pay for the ruined alternator. So I told them to. *Ak
